ABOUT ME

Basically, last year I left Portland, OR and my sweet downtown apartment with a backpack, guitar and bicycle to begin an open-ended travel adventure.

So far I've been to/lived in San Francisco and Santa Barbara, CA, Mystic, CT, Austin, TX and Puerto Rico, BACK to Austin (it's the shit, go if you haven't) and currently hanging out in Portland again until I get on the plane to Hawaii. My travels remain open-ended...

Working as a freelance web developer gives me the freedom to roam and meet amazing people. I'm all about being outdoors, improv comedy (laughing is HUGELY important to me), cycling, bouldering...I don't sit around.

One of my outdoor goals this year is to learn how to scuba dive so I can dive with a school hammerheads with my lady friend Leila! I also want to learn how to fish, grow my own food and surf. There a million other things I want to do like ride an elephant in Chang-Mai or zipline in Australia and dance in Brazil.
